Moody Towers (Towers), is
the largest complex of the residence halls and
accommodates more than 1,100 students. The two
18-story buildings are joined by a main lobby, the
Commons. The majority of the rooms house two
occupants. Single rooms are limited to
upper-level and graduate students. Rooms
have non-moveable furniture. The Towers are
single-gender floors, each sharing a community
bathroom. Most floors have a lounge with a
television. The first floor is wheelchair
accessible. Live-in staff includes two
professional Area Coordinators (AC's), 2 Hall
Directors and 32 student Resident Assistants
(RA's).

The Commons. The Commons is
a large open area between the two towers where
students can meet. Several events are held in the
Commons during the year. The Area Coordinator's
(AC) Office is found here. You can find two
hallways leading to the Horizons cafeteria. On
the ground floor, you will find the Towers Service
Center and the FIRM Fitness Center.
Pricing. Pricing for
out-of-state and international students is the
same. Prices shown are based on a full academic
year agreement (Fall & Spring semesters).
Residents will pay for one semester at a time
(half the Academic Year price is charged to the
student's fee bill each semester). The meal
plan is also charged in the same manner and at the
same time as the room charge (half the Academic Year price is charged to the student's fee bill
each semester). Students enrolled for Summer
Session I or IV may reside on-campus during that
session for half the Summer rate.
Security. All residents are
required to use their Cougar 1Card to gain entry
to the tower in which they reside. This prevents
unauthorized people from entering residential
areas. A Desk Assistant is stationed at each
tower's entrance 24 hours a day. Residents will
receive a unique key to access their room. The
key must be used to lock and unlock the door from
the hallway; a latch operates the lock from inside
the room. The door has a peep hole. Each floor
has an RA. UH has its own police department that
offers an escort service.
Smoking. The RLH facilities
are smoke-free. Residents are not allowed to smoke
in the buildings.
Floor Plans. Floors 1
through 15 are similarly configured with mostly
double rooms, with slight variances for the 1st
and 15th floor. Floors 16 and 17 are mostly
single rooms. Super single rooms are the same
size as double rooms, located on various floors.
